Port Angeles’ Lilly Anne Lancaster is getting hot for the Roughriders at the right time of year.
Lancaster scored a hat trick in just five minutes of play against Washington in the Riders’ 9-0 win over the Patriots in the first round of the District 3 tournament playoffs, giving the Riders a 3-0 lead just 10 minutes into the game.
Lancaster also scored two goals in a victory Oct. 28 against Kingston, another goal Oct. 23 against Bremerton and two more in a victory over Sequim on Oct. 21 for eight goals in her past four matches.
Lancaster and her Roughriders teammates have a big game tonight at rival North Kitsap to move into the District 3 semifinals. The Riders split two regular season games this season against the Vikings.
Win or lose, Port Angeles plays again Thursday.
